St. Patty's Day Cupcakes

In celebration of St. Patrick's Day I made these St. Patty's Day cupcakes last night for our party at ESL tonight. Growing up we always celebrated St. Patrick's Day because it is also my brother's birthday.



I've had this recipe for a long time. I have no idea where it came from but they're always a big green hit. They use instant pistachio pudding which makes the cake green.





  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 small box instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly. In separate mixing bowl beat eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla on high. Slowing add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in thirds beating well after each addition. Line muffin pan with foil muffin cups. Fill 2/3 full with batter. Bake at 375°F for about 20 minutes. Makes about one dozen cupcakes.

Frost with your favorite green frosting. For these I used a basic vanilla buttercream frosting.
